Cutting off one's nose to spite the face, excellent skill to have in this economy, I'm sure there is a new grad somewhere who would love to fill the position, you say we NEED our jobs back yet you turned your back on the job and want to cry over it? The job you claim was needed was there, you chose to turn it down, that's all on you.

Have you ever heard the saying, "when you are in a hole, stop digging"?

The person was talking about a tech position, not RN. Hopefully they will realize prior to graduating nursing school that a judgemental and exclusive attitude is not an asset.

By the way there are nurses who look foriegn but are americans! Don't assume because they look different from yourself that they're a grad from a foriegn nursing school.

So you're saying that nurses from the philippines do not provide great services to this country? and they don't really deserve to come to this country and make a decent life for themselves? I don't have any problem for anyone, anybody from foriegn land coming to our great country to chase their piece of american dream. veryone is entitiled to, if you're great in nursing then chase your dreams using your nursing skills, if your great in agriculture and mechanics then go that way.

I dont think that you hate foriegners you just hate the fact that Those foriegn nurses that you worked with are in higher position as you. And doing a psychoanalysis on yourself based on your comments here, you just seem to have a severe case of paranoia. Pls if you're willing to worked and perform duties assign to you you can have about any jobs you want. just be nice to everyone and you can get along just fine.....

I don't think there anything in the US Constitution that states that all foreigners are able to come to the USA and seek their piece of the American Dream. There is no entitlement for Americans why should there be for people not born in the USA.

And of course, all foreign nurses who have endured the immigration process and found employment are appreciated and deserve to find their way. But to say we have an open door policy that foreign nurses are "entitled"
Definition of entitle.
1. to give (a person or thing) a title, right, or claim to something; furnish with grounds for laying claim: His executive position entitled him to certain courtesies rarely accorded others.

as a american I am entitled to vote my president, entitled to own a home, entitled to hold an RN job because of my qualification, entitled to be a member of any religous and or political party, entitled to drive and own a car of my choice, And most of all entitled to be a free citizen of this great country of ours.....

Foriegn nurses are here because they were actively recruited in their native country to work for our health care system. Hand picked and studied by hired recruiting agency from the USA.
